Pharmacy Prior Authorization
Streamline and manage the prior authorization process efficiently across your pharmacy operations, reducing delays and ensuring timely medication access for patients.
Shorten the time to complete a pharmacy prior authorization workflow and expedite patient care.
Challenge #1
Complex Payer Requirements Lead to Delays in Patient Care
Each payer—and even individual plans—has unique prior authorization (PA) requirements, from specific forms to varying clinical criteria. This fragmented landscape creates confusion, increasing the risk of errors and denials. PA teams must manually track and manage these differing requirements, often leading to delays that leave patients waiting for critical medications. These inefficiencies not only affect patient care but also frustrate providers and pharmacies trying to navigate the system.
Our solution
Standardizing PA Processes to Ensure Faster Patient Access
Plenful simplifies the complexity of payer requirements by automating data extraction, submission, and status tracking. Our intelligent platform ensures PAs are completed accurately and efficiently, preventing unnecessary denials and reducing the administrative burden on pharmacy teams. Unlike fragmented solutions that address only parts of the workflow, Plenful provides a comprehensive approach—even for manual fax-driven PAs. By integrating seamlessly with existing EHRs and pharmacy systems, we enable organizations to scale PA operations, reduce approval times, and ensure patients receive their therapies and medications without delay.
Challenge #2
Manual Workflows Create Costly Bottlenecks for Pharmacies
Managing prior authorizations manually requires pharmacy teams to spend excessive time on data entry, follow-ups, and appeals—slowing down approvals and increasing costs. Every PA request involves multiple back-and-forth touchpoints between providers, pharmacies, and payers, leading to inefficiencies that delay medication access. Since pharmacies cannot dispense or be reimbursed for medications without an approved PA, these delays negatively impact both operational efficiency and financial performance.
Our solution
Automating Prior Authorization Workflows to Reduce Administrative Burden
Plenful eliminates the manual, time-consuming tasks associated with prior authorizations by automating the entire process, including fax-based PAs. Our platform ingests documentation, extracts key data, fills out PA forms, flags missing information, and submits everything directly to payers. By enabling faster PA approvals, more patients receive their approved treatments which then increases your total billable services. Plenful also gets you up and running fast! Unlike competitors with long implementation timelines, our configurable workflows ensure faster deployment, allowing pharmacies to improve efficiency and reduce costs immediately.
Challenge #3
Slow Approvals and Denials Delay Revenue Reimbursement
Prior authorization inefficiencies directly impact pharmacies' bottom line. When approvals take too long or get denied due to avoidable errors, pharmacies experience delayed reimbursements and lost revenue. The administrative overhead required to reprocess denied claims or chase approvals further strains resources. Without an efficient PA process, pharmacies struggle to scale operations, manage costs, and maintain financial stability.
Our solution
Accelerating Revenue Recovery with Smarter PA Management
Plenful helps pharmacies optimize PA workflows to accelerate approvals and maximize reimbursement efficiency. By reducing manual data entry errors and automating submission processes, we minimize denials and resubmission delays. Our intelligent system tracks and flags issues proactively, ensuring that pharmacies can quickly correct and resubmit claims, reducing revenue leakage and rework costs. With faster approvals and reduced volumes of prior auth-related claim denials, Plenful ensures the health system gets reimbursed for more of the services it provides.
